Back brace Reinforcement for Taz 1-6 Printers and other 20mm extrusion frames
Description
This Project Is A Low Cost Option For Adding Significant Upper Gantry And Z Axis Stiffness To The Taz Frame For All Model Taz Printers. It Uses 3 20Mm Surplus Taz Extrusion (3X 500Mm Or 1X 510Mm And 2X500Mm For A Taz 6 Specifically) Some 55Mm Long M5 Cap Head Bolts And M5 Flange Nuts, Some 10Mm Long M5 Cap Head Bolts And M5 T-Nuts And M5 Washers (Possibly Shorter Than 10Mm I Was Just Grabbing Them From The Container, Will Measure When I Get A Chance), 2 Stick On Furniture Feet (Taz 6 Flexifeet Edition Coming Soon) And About 1Lb Of Plastic. Any Type Of Plastic Should Be Fine For This Application, Including Pla. I Used Push Plastics Black Abs. Do You Need This Backbrace Project? Prior To Printing It, I Would Have Said No. I Print At Very High Speeds Generally (120Mm/Sec On Average With Higher Moves, Slower First Layer Is My General "Medium" Speed) , So I Was Looking For A Way To Reinforce The Frame Against Even Higher Forces. After Bolting This On Though, My Prints Have Absolutely No Layer Offset At All. I Was Already Pretty Well Dialed In With The Openbulilds Mods, But This Pushes It To The Next Level.
